True!

Finding things online is easy compared to extracting the truth from the urban myths, commercial motivations, political bias and plain old stubborn wrong-headedness.

When I tried to find "Internet documentation" for my opinions about crop genetic engineering, and climate change, I was shocked at how much both sides slant their websites.

When there's money on the table, truth flies out the window.

Ditto for political ideology - "truth in politics" sometimes seems like a contradiction in terms.

The idea that "highly motivated people are willing to lie" didn't come as a shock, but I WAS surprised to see how lame and obvious propaganda can be, and yet apparently satisfy the desire of the zealots to "do research".
